Girlfriends - The Complete First Season (2000)

Girlfriends, Afro-American "Friends"

Girlfriends - The Complete First SeasonThis is one of UPN networks newer shows that is witty, funny and full of characters. From the staunch character played by Ms Tracee Ellis Ross to the modern day free spirit Persia White. Affluent African Americans portrayed as never before in a natural and real-life setting. I applaud producer Kelsey Grammer of Cheers, and Frasier fame for a good script, well developed characters and just enough modern day problems and situations to make this show worth taking a look at. The actresses and actors are well known within the African American community and accomplished in their own right. Basically you have a sitcom that follows traditional lines but with a hint of Ebonics thrown in to be enjoyable to all. The women are beautiful and strong American women and the fine portrayal of an affluent African American man by actors such as Reggie Hayes is a welcome treat for viewers like myself who are so tired of seeing African Americans portrayed as pimps and hookers. Great work from a great cast and again good stuff Mr Grammer, one of the funniest men on TV today. June 25, 2008

Comedy At Its Best

Girlfriends...The First Season, is outstanding. These four smart, sexy, beautiful, stylish, and sophisticated Black women are wonderful together. Their male friend strikes a balance of male and female interactions that comedy delivers over and over again. They truly show that their friendship with each other is unconditional and a model for everyone to practice. They use their talent to show that life, love, romance, and comedy is what makes the world go round one day at a time. November 9, 2007
